They are ...but i havea confession, it took 3 socks to make him! lol , i made a mistake with the first sock so had to use another one, he actually has pink & brown striped arms! lol

I was wondering that, thought it just looked like the light was shining on him a bit funny. I like that though, they match his pink eyes I made one with the black and white socks that came in the pack for OH, his tail is inside out but I couldn't go back and change it :rotfl: He just needs some eyes but I'm building up the courage to take him to Boyes so I can hold buttons up to him to see which look the best, people might think I'm a bit strange though I was only intending to make one so I wore the other stripy socks from the pack, wish I'd kept them for more monkeys now.

nomoney love the monkey i like the stripey ones the best too - even if he does have pink n brown striped arms lol thats what i like about them tho - we all follow the same pattern yet every monkey is different

chatty123 looks like your mokey had a fabby holiday

i have just sat and stuffed 6 monkeys today with another 6 to go, i got the urge to do them this morning but now i wish i hadnt started lol. these ones have almost used up my sock supply tho so now i'm sat trying to decide if i should go and buy some more socks or do i get these ones out the way and have a break from thinking about socks for a wee while. i did want to do dammit dolls which i was hoping would be less time consuming,

keep the monkeys coming i love seeing everyones pics
